IPCWorks 2006 Highlights Lead Free Implementation, Reliability and Eco-Compliance
July 21, 2006 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Anticipating the industry's greatest needs, IPCWorks 2006 will focus on lead free implementation, reliability and compliance with RoHS and similar directives. This year, the event, featuring technical conference sessions, professional development workshops, the designer's certification program, standards development meetings, and free roundtables and forums will take place September 7 - 14, 2006, at the American Airlines Training and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />ConferenceCenter in Fort Worth, Texas.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
While this year's theme "Back in the Saddle" poses a whimsical, and much needed celebration of the industry's recovery from hard times, the underlying goal is to provide comprehensive, in-depth educational sessions to help members prepare and prevail with lead free implementation and process issues. Dynamic speakers from OEM and EMS companies will join other industry experts to present the most up-to-date information and findings. Free programs will cover advanced technology implementation, the challenges for designers in today's environment, and how the industry should prepare for the next wave of new technologies.
In addition, IPCWorks will again host dozens of standards development committee meetings. An integral part of maintaining a prosperous market environment, the work of these committees on new standards' revisions and creation of original documents help shape the future of the electronic interconnection industry and serve as critical resources throughout the electronics supply chain.
"We have put together a program that offers solutions for real-world challenges facing our industry today. The free sessions and educational programs are a great way to get more value in addition to committee work," says David Bergman, IPC's vice president of standards, technology and international relations.
